We have benefited enormously from working in a large neutral space where we were able to experiment with ideas and materials, to make transitory work that could be applied directly onto the concrete floor and to do this without feeling under pressure.

We were able to reassess previous work in the space of Gallery 8 which has opened up new avenues for us in a way that would not have been possible without our time there.
